Dynos?

How can I take a sample and see it under a microscope?

Use a pipette

hard to be definitive without microscope pics, but the tank shots look like a mixed community of GHA, cyano, diatoms and probably also dinos.
So I wouldn't think of it as a dino-specific issue, but a general nuisance algae issue.

Okay so if I got a microscope picture could you help me identify it?

Yeah, the common things are easily distinguished under microscope.

OK, I bought a microscope and got the best sample. I could. I don’t know what this is but it is like stringy and when I pull it off of the sand bed, it is like a mat of algae. That is all one.
